Ira Trivedi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article had very dubious and ridiculous claims without any citation and I removed all those claims. Such examples are extensive training in Yoga, won several awards in college, citing links of prestigious college which even don't support the claim she studied there, her show is number one in 2017, her family is first family of Madhya Pradesh etc. Violation of WP:Verifiability. Details about her personal life were added which aren't even publicly available and photo was also added. Obviously, violation of WP:COI.

Most of the sources cited here are primary sources like her website, her books, her talks, her articles and TEDx talks which don't help to achieve the criteria of the WP:Notability and violation of WP:Primary sources. I tried to find secondary sources and to improve article but failed as she is not much notable. Only her allegations about #Metoo on Chetan Bhagat (who is famous author and anyone accusing him can get famous) and recent controversies on Beef received coverage. Apart from it, only her self written articles such as to improve postures have been found. Hence, I am starting the AfD here. The person fails WP:Author and she didn't achieve the enough coverage in WP:RS. --Harshil169 (talk) 03:08, 27 July 2019 (UTC) Harshil169 (talk) 03:08, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - Subject is notable, Google search and news search brings up coverage, and reviews not to mention the two New York Times articles here. Article needs improvement not deletion. WP:BEFORE Netherzone (talk) 04:42, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I read those two articles and just trivial mention about her in article doesn’t mean that subject herself is the notable person. Most of the claims made in the article were vague and humbug and person’s details were added to that level which can be used as circular reporting. —Harshil169 (talk) 04:54, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, Harshil169, you must have read other articles. Perhaps WP:JDLI? New York Times article contains three paragraphs framed by calling her a "best-selling author" to shed light on the condition of women in India. Netherzone (talk) 15:02, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * With all respect, it will be better that you will stay on the policies of Wikipedia. Try to add the details about Ira here with proper citation and removing unnecessary and exaggerated claims about her. If you think she is notable then remove unnecessary primary sources, add reliable sources like New youk Times. Read WP:Civility. Thanks and regards, --Harshil169 (talk) 16:17, 28 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep per plentiful coverage, stuff like Financial Times book review of India in Love: Marriage and Sexuality in the 21st Century, ('India in Love', by Ira Trivedi, Pilling, David. FT.com; London (Jun 6, 2014).). She and her books draw coverage.  Page needs improvement, most pages do.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:35, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: meets WP:NAUTHOR. That the article needs (or needed) substantial work doesn't mean the subject doesn't meet our notability standards. Marquardtika (talk) 01:00, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
